What owners report
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH ONLY 14,500 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE SOFTWARE THAT WEEK. A FEW DAYS AFTER PICK UP, I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM: DOWN SHIFTING, NOT SHIFTING, TRANSMISSION REVING UP AND NOT ENGAGING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
DEAR SIRS, I HAVE DISCOVERED A VERY DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL HAZARD THAT IS OCCURRING ON ALL THE 1990'S JEEP CHEROKEE SE MODELS. ON THE 4.0 LITER 242 CUBIC INCH MODELS, THE DASHBOARD SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE AIRFLOW AFTER ONLY A FEW YEARS OF USE SHORTS OUT MELTING AND CAUSING A SEVERE DANGER PROBLEM. WHEN THIS BROWN PLUG MELTS IT ALSO SHORTS OUT THE 30 AMP FUSE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THIS AREA. AFTER INVESTIGATING SEVERAL OF THESE SAME MODELS IT IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FAULT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE SOME CORRECTIVE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED FROM THIS? THE NEXT EMAIL WILL SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF TWO DIFFERENT 1990'S JEEP CHEROKEE'S WITH SEVERAL PICS AND BO
THE EXAUST BOLTS ARE BROKEN AND THE JEEP IS LOUD THE NOISE JUST STARTED ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP.
